Abstract

Magnesium alloys usage has been increased every year owing to its lightness, damping capacity, and EMI shielding, etc. In case of magnesium, it is mainly produced by diecasting due to high fluidity of melts. But, casting defect occurs many times because of low heat capacity of the magnesium. Therefore, wrought products can be applied for defect-free and mechanical properties. but it is insufficient in market share because of crystalline structure. The domestic market of wrought magnesium products are not revitalized compare to advanced countries. Accordingly we are going to forecast a domestic market of wrought products through searching the present of korean magnesium industry.
